Characterization of the vulnerability of cooperative economic systems in a context of multiple hydroclimatic risks and transition

French vineyards, which play a key economic and cultural role, are highly exposed to climate risks and market shifts, rendering their ability to adapt both complex and uncertain. The COOPIX project aims to assess this impact, while strengthening partnerships with cooperatives and proposing a conceptual framework to analyze their vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities. To achieve this, it combines data analysis, field monitoring, and the development of tools designed to support decision-making when faced with multiple risks.

The ability of forests to provide a wide range of ecosystem services is being challenged in the current context of climate change, which involves an increase in interlocking regimes of natural and human-induced disturbances

To limit the negative impacts of the specialization of agricultural systems and the intensification of practices, studies are being carried out on the reconnection between animal and plant production on a territorial scale.

Agricultural and food systems (AFS) are being challenged with increasing climate risks, declining biodiversity (resulting in multiple biotic hazards), and the redefinition of relationships between human and non-human societies in a context of heightened health risks

Representation, Analysis and Management of Multiple Risks and Uncertainties

The challenge facing the XRisques metaprogram is to better understand the multiple risks weighing on territories and agricultural, food and environmental systems, in particular the emerging risks linked to rapid transitions in these systems. XRisques aims to establish connections between risks of various kinds, to consider the propagation processes of interacting risks, and to better comprehend the vulnerability of systems in their totality, diversity and complexity. It also aims to compare the different visions of risk from a perspective where prevention and management strategies, as well as public actions and policies, can emerge.
